On May 11, Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian received Archbishop Marek Solczyński, Apostolic Nuncio of the Holy See to Armenia (residence in Tbilisi) on the occasion of completion of his diplomatic mission.
Wishing success to the Papal Nuncio in his future endeavours, Minister Nalbandian noted that the relations between Armenia and Vatican, the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Roman Catholic Church are at the highest level, and the last year historic visit of Pope Francis to Armenia under the “Pilgrimage to the first Christian country” motto was a vivid evidence of that.
Expressing gratitude for the comprehensive support provided throughout his tenure, Archbishop Solczyński expressed confidence that the cooperation between the Holy See and Armenia will further strengthen and expand.
In acknowledgement of his valuable contribution to the development of relations between Armenia and Vatican, Edward Nalbandian awarded Archbishop Solczyński with the Medal of Honour of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
